    Never heard of any of these. Sort of like the Best Picture at the Oscars.

      I never heard of any of them either, and yes, it is like the Oscars. You have to be an SFWA member, and have to have three stories over 1000 published at 6¢s per word or more, or earn $3000 from a book.

      The Hugos are voted on by members of the The World Science Fiction Society, and anyone can join.

    The Oscars you say?

    Announcer: Drum roll, The winner for best story of 2016 is ... "Saved for NCommander to post a story" by martyb

    NC: Thank you, thank you we'd love to thank our readers, especially the donors with the yellow stars, for supporting our documentary of the fresh new XenixPunk retrocomputing movement and ...

    Announcer: Wait NC wait hold on, yo, there's been a mistake with the envelopes. That happened in 2017 anyway.

    (dramatic pause)

    Announcer: And the actual winner for best story of 2016 with a record breaking 448 posts is "And the winner is....." by cmn32480 about the triumphant ascension of the God Emperor in early November.
